Procedure

4-Bromo-3-fluorophenol (8.00 g, 41.9 mmol) and 6-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (8.25 mL, 95.2 mmol) were combined in butyronitrile (5.0 mL) and treated with sodium carbonate (4.04 g, 38.1 mmol). The reaction was subjected to microwave irradiation for 2 hours at 175° C., then filtered through Celite®. The filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate, then dichloromethane, and the combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to provide product as a dark brown oil. This material was used without additional purification. Yield: 11.59 g, >41.9 mmol, assumed quantitative. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.61-1.89 (m, 5H), 2.02-2.24 (m, 2H), 4.30 (m, 1H), 4.46 (m, 1H), 6.63 (ddd, J=8.9, 2.8, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 6.73 (dd, J=10.5, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (dd, J=8.9, 8.0 Hz, 1H).
